Free Auto Shutdown

Free Auto Shutdown is an intuitive and very simple to work with piece of software developed to assist you in scheduling your computer to power off, reboot or hibernate at a precise time or after a previously-defined period.

The application’s interface consists of a medium-sized, non-adjustable window, where all the configuration options can be found and customized.

The straightforward and accessible looks make Free Auto Shutdown quite easy to handle, even if you lack experience in working with such tools or the computer, in general.

The program features six different power options that you can work with, namely ‘Shutdown’, ‘Restart’, ‘Log Off’, ‘Hibernate’, ‘Power Off’ and ‘Sleep’, enabling you to choose whichever you need just by clicking on its corresponding radio button.

As for the actual scheduler, Free Auto Shutdown lets you opt between a ‘Specified Time’, ‘From Now’, ‘Daily’ and ‘On Idle’. The first function allows you to run the power off or reboot task at a preferred moment in a specified day of the calendar.

The ‘From Now’ selection lets you decide how much longer your PC can run before executing the task, while the ‘Daily’ option enables you to regularly perform the same operation, at a user-specified time. The ‘On Idle’ function will only restart or log off your computer when you have not worked on it for a while.

Moreover, Free Auto Shutdown can remind you five minutes before task execution, so you can save your work before exiting, as well as cancel or postpone it for later.

To conclude, Free Auto Shutdown is an effective and reliable utility that can successfully help you run automated restart, log off or sleep tasks on your PC, allowing you to configure the exact moment it should be executed.
